I mean... I have a Fin Fang Foom baf figure on my shelf that serves the purpose. I don't need them to revisit him. But if they did - and it were not $350 or whatever - I'd probably cave. I'd rather get a Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy set though.
Sure, I'd buy another Foom if they made a bigger and better one, but since I have the BAF it wouldn't be a priority to me to get made. The real obstacle is that he'd only almost certainly have to be over $400 in today's market, and I just don't think he has the fanbase of Galactus/Sentinel to pull enough buyers at that price for Hasbro to bother with. Now get him a meaningful and substantial part in a MCU film to increase his modern popularity and that might change things.
Like @PantherCult said, there are other things I'd rather them spend their time on.
For me personally, I really want some type of representation of Krakoa the Living Island. That would probably be my biggest want in the HasLab or Made to Order space.
I bought a red Mattel Jurassic World T-Rex as that's my stand if for Devil Dino right now with the Marvel Universe 1/18th scale Moon Boy riding him (which makes Dino look bigger). They've made a significantly bigger T-Rex for the new movie that I hope they eventually do a red variant of as well. Regardless, I'd still buy an official Legends Devil Dino though.
Another one that I'd really like to see is Giganto the Mole Monster. Since he appears in this month's movie, I'm hoping that might help make that happen. Pack him with a new Mole Man and some Moloids/Subterraneans and that's an instant buy.
It the Living Colossus or a Celestial like Arishem the Judge or Ziran the Tester would be high on my list as well. I'd also love to see some larger Frost Giants, specifically Laufey and Ymir.
Personally I'd welcome a Made-to-Order Marvel Legends Fin Fang Foom. Heaven know we all need him in our collection to build that world of Marvel, regardless to the fact that he's not that popular a character like someone like Mandarin is.

Not arguing - you are right many of us need Foom in our collection - the issue is that many of us already have him in our collection. We built the two-wave BaF figure and while it isn't perfect, it can still do the job on our shelf. As such those of us may be far less likely to shell out the $300 or more dollars for a new one. And without enough buyers Hasbro won't make it - it's just math. I'm not convinced that even if Hasbro solicited a made to order Foom that they would get enough orders to put it into production.
Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe there's a bigger untapped Foom market out there than I realize.
If he's a HasLab, I'd be concerned with what figure tiers they'd include with him. Hopefully they've learned their lesson, and only include relevant characters with him. Might be the perfect place for that cartoon Mandarin so many folks want. But I still don't know if that would be enough to get me to bite, given space and $$$ concerns.
A Made-to-order Fin Fan Foom is much easier than a Haslab, wouldn't want another failure like the engine of vengeance.
Is that a Gyrich head included?
@dathing Oh, yes it is. That is likely going to be my very favorite things from this entire wave!
Morph look great, wasn't expecting a new sculpt.
Love the skull base, would love similar "skull carpeting" considering how often it showed up in Age of Apocalypse, but I could see how this might imply the reveal of Rachel Grey / Phoenix II and/or Ahab as well.

Dwight can be heard saying "we have about 10 more figures to be put in here after the reveals on Friday".
Exciting times for X-Men fans!
